General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS)
The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS), also known as GTFS Static and GTFS Realtime, defines a common format for public transportation schedules and associated geographic information. GTFS “feeds” let public transit agencies publish their transit data and developers write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way. We provide these files for public use as a single dataset for both our Ada County and County Services.
